True story: I was commuting to UT-Dallas at 7-something in the morning and I pass by the guy on the tollway, look over and he's riding in a nice BMW, wearing a suit and all that, but the best part: the dude was drinking a tall boy of Lone Star. It made my day.

most italian (in general) goes poorly with most beers. that said, depending on what's on the pizza...

i'd even disagree on the grilling... some premium steaks (assuming proper condiments and not like, a1 or some other sacrilege) just don't go right with a beer. burger/brat/hot dog, otoh...

i tend to find mexican always goes with a beer. thai/vietnamese/nepalese also go well with a good beer.

ok, yes. a very well prepared piece of red meat does not go the best with beer. i enjoy a red wine with a good steak. the only time i enjoy wine. and, yeah, if the steak needs A1, then it could also qualify for a beer.

and, yeah, really disagree on the asian food. that's always soda or water territory for me.

There is a Belgium Beer Fesitival in Baltimore this weekend, that I might be checking out. I've lost 10 lbs since Jan 1 while severely limiting my drinking, but I think I may put back on half of it this weekend.
